Okay, here goes. The places you mentioned sound familiar. I live in AL but had family from Ohio and Kentucky. I could look for somethings on Ancestry in exchange for any on site knowledge you have. My family are the Joseph Heiss' of Higginsport in 1880 census. Do you live in either of these states. Are you familiar with the area? I just know when you talk of north of Augusta, it must be in Ohio as Augusta is on the river. I have seen the Bolender name several times in my research. If I can locate where I'll send it on to you. Is all of Shinkle's Ridge in Clermont County? It was mentioned by a very distant older cousin. Why was it called Shinkle's Ridge. I found a picture of a cemetery there while googling one day. Amelia and Batavia also sound familiar; they're in Ohio, right? The surnames I am researching are HEISS, BEYERSDOERFER, BACH, WENZ, GOECKE, ELLIS. Any help will be appreciated.

Shinkle's ridge as you might guess was the location of the Shinkle family homestead dating from very late 1790 to early 1800's and is located a couple of miles north of Ohio river. Amelia is in south central Clermont Co., OH and Batavia is the county seat at the center of the county as most are. Higginsport is a small Ohio river town in Brown Co. Shinkle, Bolender and Judd were intermarried. They are all mentioned in the Franklin Township section of the History of Clermont County, Ohio 1880. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Norsworthy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 10:29 AM Subject: Re: [OHCLER] Gill - 1820's - 1830 in Clermont.
